These Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington brownies are easy peasy to make and already a favorite dessert at Halloween parties!
Whether you’re hosting an awesome Nightmare Before Christmas party or just a Jack Skellington fan with a sweet tooth, these brownies are a fun way to celebrate the Halloween season!
We love this Tim Burton classic because it blends two of our favorite holidays together, and the iconic characters (Jack, Sally, Zero, and even Oogie Boogie) are classic staples from our childhood!
The best part?
After baking the brownies, your kids can help decorate each brownie!
They’re so much fun to make, and you can get as creative as you want with more designs if you’d like!
For our movie night, we featured the pumpkin king’s face on each brownie!
What You’ll Need:
- 9×13 of Brownies (We used boxed brownie mix)
- 1 Container Vanilla or White Frosting
- Black Food Coloring
- Pastry Bag
- Circle Cookie Cutter
How to Make Easy Jack Skellington Brownies
- Make the brownies according to the instructions on the box (or use your own homemade recipe). Once they’re cool, run a knife around the pan to release the brownies evenly.
- Then place them on a cooling rack by laying the cooling rack over top of pan and flipping. Be careful because pan will still be hot.
- Once the brownies are out of the pan, place a cookie sheet over and flip again, so brownies are right side up.
- Now, use the circle cookie cutter to cut out as many circles as you can from the brownies. Let them cool completely.
- Add 3 drops of black food coloring to ¼ cup of the frosting and mix thoroughly. Place black frosting into pastry bag and cut off small/medium tip.
- Ice the top of the cooled brownies with white frosting.
- Now, use the black frosting to create Jack Skellington’s face — candy corn shaped eyes slanted along top of brownie and two slanted small lines for a nose. Finish by adding in his smile and “stitches”.
